DK: As a child growing up, music
surrounds us; what type of music did you hear the most back then?
lol funny question, I used to love kwaito to much back in the days, lol I even wanted to be a kwaito star, it turned out I couldn't write songs nor sing kwaito, so i turned to production and it turned out I was very good with it. All God’s plan

to pursue a career in music?
The Love for music was just too strong

DK: Tell us about Ultra Tone, how did it
come about and what can we expect from the label?
Well Ultra Tone is not only a house label as many people may think it is or tho we release mostly house. In the near future Ultra Tone will be taping in new genres in the music industry e.g. Hip Hop and Jazz etc. Ultra Tone Is Co-owned by 5 partners and best of friends. Next year expect two to three Albums dropping from Ultra Tone mine being one of them (My Secret Circle Album 2014), but for now look out for these Ep's V.underground ft Mishka - Gelo Wand (sama nominated) remixes (AbicahSoul, SoundQuest, Azee Project, Lele X) and Genvee ft Rona Ray -Tears Of The Ocean (V.underground & Rancido remixes)........the list gone's on.

DK: What do you think makes you and your type
of music unique from other Producers?
Well I could say my sound is very different from other producers always has that soulful feel to it and I never release a track if it’s not mixed nor mastered. Quality always counts when it comes to my music, and one other thing I love vocals, that’s one of the things you will mostly find in my music.

DK: How's the experience of working
at SoulCandi studios as an engineer and in-house producer?
Well working at soul candi was an eye opener I have been there my whole music life (6 years now) from the school to the work stuff. All the things I know today came from that building straight from production to running my own label, I have seen and introduced myself to many of the greats of this industry, opened a whole lot of doors for me.

DK: What do you enjoy more, making music,
radio or Dj'n?
To tell you the truth I enjoy doing them all, but if I had to pick one I love doing the most it would be doing music.

DK: How would you describe entertainment
in the Vaal?
I think Vaal has a lot to learn when it comes to entertainment we do the same thing over and over every year nothing new comes up. That’s one of the loopwholes we as ultra tone are hoping to close and I hope the event in October proves that. Not taking out any info for now, but ya'll just know its new and fresh.
